Planet Coaster: Console Edition going straight to XBox Game Pass:

"Lockdown" premium looks to be about 10%. Interesting (apart from that being a round number and probably wrong).

But, as discussed previously, will that account for the "lockdown addiction impetus" in the future?

Anyway, am expecting an update soon. Last year's TU and Road Map was issued on 15 November.

Look on bright side, more lockdown before Christmas probably means more games sales.

Sorry what is ESG?

[energeticbacker] 23/10/2020 12:51

A growing amount of research suggests that the financial benefits of ESG investing are as strong as its societal benefits. Investor’s Champion considers how well ESG is playing out for smaller companies on AIM. BOO FDEV DATA HGM KWS

Interview with CFO, Alex Bevis:

It took 8 months to ship 1m units on PC as I recall so 2m within 1 year on consoles combined sounds feasible. Of course that will probably be split over 2 financial years with a larger proportion of the revenues in FY21.

looks good as you'd expect - this could sell a couple of million copies I expect over first 12 months or so in this environment. i.e. people want a feel good time consuming game!

I expect someone goofed by publishing an article ahead of an embargo but the cat seems to be out of the bag on the Planet Coaster: Console Edition launch dates:

PS4 / XBOX (all varieties) 10th November.
PS5 12th/19th November (depending on regional release date for the console).

"Seems to be selling better on Switch than on Steam."

It was mostly a reissue under a different publisher on Steam, 99% identical to the original. Most interested parties would have just picked it up on Epic for free.

#15 is pretty respectible considering it's a monthly chart and the game launched on the final week of the month.

Price action indicates expectation of something positive by the market... warranted or unwarranted!

comments appreciated pinkfish . I normally just trade a stock or sometimes hold a very short time with CFD using the chart and this one is a NOR situation as you know . thanka again

[p1nkfish] 28/9/2020 11:08

Indicative of expected growth and so long as they grow at the necessary pace then OK. You are unlikley to find a growth rate like FDEV is capable of at anything like a reasonable p/e anyway. Best was to get in early in that case and take the risk they don't grow but the comfort of a low p/e. Pay your money, take your choice. Dyor & good luck.

[arja] 28/9/2020 10:23

lovely looking chart and NOR . But I always feel wary of buying as such a high prospective p/e . Is that not a concern in this case ?

[p1nkfish] 26/9/2020 10:06

Fledgling, excellent illuminating post. Thank you.

[sogoesit] 26/9/2020 09:33
